I have a Linux box that acts as our email (POP3) server. People use Outlook or Eudora to retreive their email from the server to their workstation. I want to configure sendmail so that several people can log into a shared account simultaneously withthe same password from their workstation. Everyone would have the ability to log on and see the same thing as everyone else. I believe for this to happen instead of Outlook or Eudora pulling the email from the server it would just go to the server and look at the email. The email would stay on the server. I know this is possible with Mail Exchange(windows), but is this possible with Linux and sendmail? Do I need to make some changes to Outlook as well?
The way I have it set up now is using /etc/aliases. Email comes to an account Blahblah@blah.com. There are several people who have been added to its alias account. For example, when joe and john (who are on the alias for blahblah@blah.com ) retreive mail from the server they still won’t know who has read and or replied to which email (blahblah@blah.com’s mail). I know there is a way for them both to see the same email account at the same time. If john were to read an email and reply to it, joe would see that it was read and or perhapswould no longer see it cause john has deleted it. Outlook would allow them to see the mail on the server and not take the mail off of the server.
